Verma named journal co-editor

CU Denver School of Education and Human Development faculty member, Geeta Verma, associate professor of science education, has been named co-editor of the Journal of Science Teacher Education (JSTE), the flagship journal of the Association for Science Teacher Education (ASTE). 

It is the only English-language journal focused exclusively on science teacher education. JSTE disseminates research and theoretical position papers concerning preservice and in-service education of science teachers, including articles offering ways to improve classroom teaching and learning; professional development; and teacher recruitment and retention at pre K-16 levels.

“I am so honored and privileged to receive this co-editor role,” said Geeta Verma. “Science education has a key role in equipping students around the globe with the capacity to make informed decisions about issues that affect them and their societies. My goal is to actively seek out global and diverse perspectives on science teacher education to benefit the next generation of science education researchers, science leaders, and science teachers.”
